Best Christmas Food: 34 Non Traditional Ideas

Sharing is caring!

Do you have traditions for your Christmas dinner? Or do you have a family breakfast or lunch tradition?

We always do Mexican food when we celebrate with my family. This year we will have tacos, chicken enchiladas, beef enchiladas, Puerto Rican rice, Rotel dip and pinto beans. And guess what? I am hosting this year at our house.  I think my oldest was four the last time I hosted Christmas, and surprisingly, I am not freaked out about having a houseful of people.
